Clean: Cleanse and tone your skin, making sure to remove any makeup. We love the No7 Hot Cloth Cleanser.

Exfoliate: Using your fingertips and a gentle facial scrub, or facial cleansing brush; exfoliate your skin in circular motions. This will remove surface dead cells and promote a glowing complexion.

DIY Exfoliator - You can make your own facial scrub by mixing coconut oil (or olive oil) and granulated sugar. For a gentler scrub, replace the sugar with oats.

Steam: Steaming loosens dead skin cells, and dirt, and opens pours; and you don’t need a fancy steamer (unless you want one!) Just half-fill a bowl with boiling water, and lean toward it, Keeping your face at least 6 inches from the water. For best results, do a few two-minute sessions with a clean towel over your head. For an extra treat, add a drop of essential oil to the water.

Soothe: After steaming, massage in a few drops of a dry oil or a facial serum for your skin type and then apply a mask. If you have particularly oily skin, you can skip this step.

Mask: Sheet masks are a great way of introducing a lot of beneficial active ingredients to your skin. Set the alarm for 20 minutes and lie back on the bed and let the sheet mask do its work! Nuxe Splendieuse sheet masks are available in most pharmacies nationwide and are sold individually for €6, or the Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask is a great budget option.

DIY Mask - You can make your own face mask with one tablespoon plain yogurt, half tablespoon honey, and one small banana, or avocado, mashed into a paste. Just apply to your face, and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Yum!
